How To Make Homemade Pizza -- A Series

(Calzones -- one form of pizza!)

I have been making homemade pizza for six years. I picked up a frugal cookbook just after I got married and the author suggested making your own pizza rather than ordering out as a way to save money. As we were on a tight budget, my husband and I dove in with both feet and found that we really love homemade pizza.

The one thing I've learned in the past six years of making pizza is that there is no one way to make it. I've also picked up a number of tips and tricks for making all kinds of different pizzas. Because I don't want you to miss out on the delights of making your own pizza, I'm going to write a series of posts on how to do it.

The topics I'll cover are:

1. The Crust
2. The Sauce
3. The Toppings
4. The Baking

My goal is to get these posts out Monday through Thursday next week so that by Friday you, too, can be enjoying the best pizza in town right out of your oven!
